director biography

Enrique Buleo was born in Villanueva de la Jara (Cuenca) in 1979. In 1997, he started studying Fine Arts at the Faculty of Cuenca, where he graduated in 2001. During his university years, he began to make video films and to combine his audiovisual works with others of a plastic nature, such as screen printing. Between 2010 and 2011 he made several solo exhibitions and participated in group shows until he finally left his plastic work to devote himself entirely to filmmaking. In 2012 he made the short film "Sângerete" and a couple of years later "In self-defense" where he began to take an interest in rural environments and tragicomic plots. In 2016 he made "Decorosa", a short film with which he got 60 selections and 8 awards for best short film and best screenplay both in national and international festivals. It was also selected by the VOD platform Filmin, specialized in independent cinema, where it is currently available. In 2017 he wrote "El infierno y tal" (The hell and such), a story that he rolled in 2018 in the “Manchuela” in Cuenca and in which he returned to the same topics treated in his previous work: the hostility inherent to the human being, the illusory hope or the involuntary comedy.
